  • 50mm stem with 25.4 clamp, why can't I find (a cheap) one? AKA can I use a shim?

    Just that really. It is for my son’s bike Found this one which is the right price and length but not the right bar clamp.

    I think I probably shouldn’t use a shim, what’s the thoughts on this?

    I don’t see any reason why a 25.4mm > 31.8mm shim wouldn’t be a perfectly good solution.

    perfect, thanks.

    I have just bought him a nice new (second-hand) bar 😳 Should have looked at stems before I did that I suppose!

    The ones on his bike at the moment are steel. I also have a new fork for him. I’m thinking I should just replace the headset too while I’m at it?

    Edit: Not cheap I guess. I’m sure they used to be…

    Thanks all 😆

    How to decide…hmmm I think Easton Havoc sounds a bit better than a Truvativ shitty 😉 As long as the price is right 🙂
